Bring on the ice
18th March, 2008Grand slam - can’t believe I missed it! This is the longest time on a boat ever for me. The safety on board and through the trip is top notch. Briefing after briefing, to make sure we are all going to be safe. Temperature has dropped today as we have passed into Antarctic waters 1 - 2 C. We’ve passed the mother of all Ice bergs just floating along. Whales blowing, and Albatrosses gliding by. There is nothing else but water, and 3 course meals. Drake Passage has been nicely non dramatic. There have been a lot of sick travellers. We land tomorrow which I am looking forward to. Bring on the ice, penguins, wind, but land that doesn’t move under your feet. Take care - Nic, Rhian and Angharad. XXX D
Hey Milesey……remember what I saud about Penguins. Sounds like one hell of a trip down there…….cold………ice……….food…… what more could a man ask for. Hope it’s everything you expected and that you haven’t been too sick on the boats. Still…….soon be in Egypt and I’ll be very surprised if you pass by any icebergs there Take care Len
